Noodler's Squeteague

Recommended Posts

I will let you know that on my screen, the scan looks a little more washed out than on the original, but then inks are bound to look a little different in different lights.

Oh, here is some of the sample pics from various websites.

hmmm... no comments huh? Is the color a boor?

:lol: well... I'm actually a bit disappointed. I thought it was a greenish-blue, and turns out to be a blueish-green... but KCat told me already about that.

 

On the other hand, with my troubles identifying colors between green and blue, it might actually be a greenish-blue to my eyes, in real life.

Looks more like a blue-black from my side. Very executive looking.

Yup, if you're looking for a greenish blue of roughly the same saturation, then I would try her Ottoman Azure. I just got a vial of it from her, and while it's greener than the Noodler's blues, it's definitely bluer than Squeteague.

i love the squeteague - it looks stunning in a fine or medium flexible nib.

 

thanks very much, Kendall. I enjoyed the review very much. Always nice to see how an ink performs in a different hand.

Nice Review!! Writing an ink review rather than typing it out really adds a touch of class.

 

We are all lovers of the written word, we all know the emotion and imagery it can carry. The extra effort you put into your review really shows and is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you Sir!!!

 

As of now, my favorite green is PR Spearmint, it is very green and I love its intensity. Its brightness makes words really stand out on the page. However, I can not use it at work. My employer (a County government) requires that all writing be in black ink, though I rock the boat by using blue-black or sometimes even a straight blue. I am a rebel, I live on the edge like that B) B) B) B) B) B)

 

Seriously though, I use green ink for making notations and editing documents. In contrast, many people use red (which I use for a different purpose), however, I find that green is more visually appealing, still stands out on the page, and is a "friendler" color. If you hand someone a document they wrote covered in red ink for corrections, they are usually not happy, do the same in green and it does seem to upset anyone.

 

I have ordered some Noodler's Verund green from Swisher's. It may turn out to be my new fave. I realy dig the waterproofness of their inks!!

Chad - thanks for your comments. I liked putting the review in the form of a scan, although Free Citizen and KCat started the trend.

 

I use both green and red for annotations, and that is the only time I like the brighter colors. Speaking of reds: I'd be interested in a review from anyone who has Anteitam or Tiananmen from Noodlers. Both look like interesting inks.

 

Noodler's Verund. Haven't heard of it, and I didn't see it on some fo the color charts. Is it new?

I just inked up a Pelikan M75 Go! with a sample of this today, and am really enjoying this color.

 

I've been into dark green lately--thanks to Kurt.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
